Thanks for the information, Chris.
And, based on your answer, I have good reason to hope that the Imuran
is doing exactly what I want it to.
BTW - so far I have not observed any negative side effects from the
Imuran treatment. In fact, some of the older kids that had the
highest gammaglobulin levels are starting to show a little more
energy. When I run the next round of tests, I will be checking the
liver and kidney function, and the hemoglobin levels as well as the
gammaglobulin levels.
Thanks again for your response.
